Review

The paper "ALIH FUNGSI LAHAN SAWAH MENJADI KEBUN DURIAN MONTONG TERHADAP PERUBAHAN SOSIAL EKONOMI PETANI DI DESA MAYAJAYA KECAMATAN PAMONA SELATAN KABUPATEN POSO" investigates a highly relevant issue concerning agricultural land-use change and its socio-economic consequences. The study focuses on a specific case in Desa Mayajaya, Poso, where farmers have transitioned from rice cultivation to Montong durian plantations. This phenomenon, driven by the increasing demand for land and the search for more profitable agricultural ventures, is a critical area of study for understanding rural development and community adaptation strategies. The paper's stated objective to identify the socio-economic changes resulting from this land conversion is clear and directly addresses a significant gap in localized understanding of such transitions. Methodologically, the research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, aiming to provide a real-world depiction of the socio-economic transformations. The study involved 38 respondents, selected through purposive sampling from a total of 263 rice farmers, with the sample size reportedly determined using the Slovin formula. While a qualitative approach is well-suited for exploring complex social dynamics, the use of Slovin's formula, typically applied in quantitative studies for statistical representativeness, for a qualitative sample raises questions about the depth of qualitative data sought and its analytical application. More critically, the abstract states the research period as October to November 2024, indicating a future timeframe, which is a significant concern regarding the validity and timeliness of the presented findings. Despite these methodological points of concern, particularly the future study period, the findings presented are compelling and paint a largely positive picture. Economically, the shift to Montong durian cultivation is reported to yield significantly higher profits, with an impressive difference of Rp 64,294,374.18/Ha compared to traditional rice farming. This substantial income boost has positively impacted family welfare through improved access to education, healthcare, and basic necessities. Socially, while the study notes a shift from communal "gotong royong" work patterns to more individual labor, it reassuringly states that inter-community interaction remains intact. Furthermore, the expansion of durian plantations has spurred local economic growth by creating new job opportunities, increasing wages, reducing unemployment, and boosting village tax revenues, which in turn support infrastructure development. The study thus offers valuable insights into the potential benefits of such agricultural transformations for community well-being and local development.
